What if Ohmwrecker

And hear me out on this. Temporarily opened the enemy's base gates for X amount of seconds? Would make the item more useful and give tanks or supports a reason to build the item.

The problem with Ohmwrecker is that it's a good choice for Tower Divers, but most Tower Divers are not tanks, or build tanky. Some can but even then there are better options with better passives.

Take sunfire cape for example. It's the same price, but with better stats and a passive thats always active and always useful. Even though it starts out weak, it builds more damage over time. it can be used to help farm and split push, along with mild extra AOE damage, very useful for initiator tanks like Malphite, Rammus, J4, and Shen who like the go ahead of the team 1v5 with their gap close to deal there CC for when the team all ins for the clean up.

Ohmwrecker on the other hand Is a bit more situational. If your team is losing and not able to push lanes then the item virtually never gets used, the speed is nice but the active can only be used every 120 seconds and only really useful if your team is actively pushing turrets. It's helpful for making comebacks and those times when the enemy turret has a few hits left on it, or when your team really wants that mid tower down but can't go in 5v3 under it due to the turret shielding them. Adding your idea to it would only further contribute to it being a situational item.

It has some usefulness, but overall there are just better options as far as tank items go that work better in more situations.
